A severe storm has caused prolonged power outages. Thousands of people are still without electricity, with over 33,000 customers affected. The utility company initially reported a much higher number of outages, exceeding 374,000. Restoration efforts are ongoing, but some areas may not have power restored until later.

The situation has prompted a call for additional help to speed up the process. Further details on the status of the outages and restoration efforts are available.

A specific timeline for full restoration has been mentioned, but it is considered too long by some officials, who are requesting more assistance to resolve the issue sooner.
